Ratings and reviews

I used to use this app and it was my favorite. The auditory cues were the reason. I could let it play with eyes closed and just follow the cues rather than need to watch a bubble. The newest version doesn't play the audio cues for more than the first couple rounds. I was very happy using the bell - it even had different tones for inhale/exhale vs hold! Guess I'll go app shopping but I'm sad because this one was my favorite; it was beautifully simple and had all the essentials.

Great, reliable app. Customization of breathing techniques is an excellent addition. The auditory cues are good, but only indicate beginning of each step. It would be very helpful to have audible cues that relate to overall time for each step as well, especially for those who have vision difficulties - for example, a sound that builds in volume, tone, etc during each phase of the exercise. Thanks for a great app.

Fantastic app! The only thing missing is a vibrate setting for guided breathing so I don't disturb my wife while she sleeps. Maybe if the phone pulses once for in/out, twice for hold, the user can still keep track of the pattern without having to look at the phone or turn on the volume. Or maybe a high frequency pulse for breath in/out and a lower frequency for hold.

What’s new

Here's the biggest Breathly update so far, Breathly v2!
I completely redesigned Breathly's interface from the ground-up, which is essential in order to introduce new features (in the future) that have been requested for ages (pure dark more, saving multiple custom patterns, etc...).
With this update I also implemented a more effective light/dark, and tweaked a couple of settings.
I haven't removed previously existing feature — but I'm open to feedback!
Have a great day!
